What to Do When the Land Rover Remote Control Runs Out of Battery?
3 Answers
When the Land Rover remote control runs out of battery, simply replace the battery. Be sure to pay attention to the positive and negative terminals and avoid installing them in reverse. Car remote key batteries are all button cells, which have a relatively long service life and can last for more than two years. When the key runs out of battery, you can purchase a battery and replace it yourself without needing to go to a 4S shop. Land Rover is a British luxury all-terrain SUV brand with a total of six models: Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery, Freelander, Defender, and Evoque. The Land Rover Range Rover adopts new body and chassis technology, elevating the vehicle's all-terrain performance to another level, whether in terms of the breadth of its off-road capabilities and passability or its on-road handling and comfort.
Last time I drove my friend's Land Rover, I encountered the same situation. Just hold the key close to the sensing area under the steering wheel, press the brake pedal and the start button to ignite and drive away—no need to panic at all. After getting home, I disassembled the key to replace the coin battery myself—CR2032 models are available at supermarkets. While at it, check if the rubber buttons on the key casing have aged; replace the casing if they're too worn. Keeping a spare mechanical key in your wallet is super practical—you can still unlock the car door if the battery dies. Normally, the car screen will alert you when the key battery is running low, so replace it as soon as you see the warning.
Don't panic if your Land Rover remote suddenly dies. There's a mechanical key hidden on the back of the fob—just release the clip to remove it. Underneath the door handle, you'll find a small square cover; pry it open with the key tip to reveal the lock cylinder. Once inside, press the remote against the left side of the steering column (the emergency induction spot), hold the brake, and hit the start button to ignite. Now grab a CR2032 coin battery for DIY replacement. Before disassembling, search online for a teardown video specific to your model to locate clips and avoid damaging the casing. Stash a spare key with family as backup—better safe than sorry.
